Florida “earthquakes” actually Navy’s 10,000-pound bombs

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Another apparent earthquake off
Florida’s Atlantic coast has been attributed to the U.S. Navy testing the
seaworthiness of a new vessel.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports the Navy conducted a shock trial Sept. 4 on the USS Milwaukee off the Volusia
and Flagler county coastlines.

Paul Caruso at the National Earthquake Information Center
says sound waves from an explosion that’s part of the test registered as a 3.8
magnitude earthquake on U.S. Geological Survey seismographs as far away as
Kansas.
